However, I can provide you with a summary based on the search results available about Ryan Gravenberch's performance against Nottingham Forest: **Ryan Gravenberch's Struggles Against Nottingham Forest** Liverpool faced significant challenges in their match against Nottingham Forest, with midfielder Ryan Gravenberch drawing particular scrutiny from fans and analysts[1][2]. The 23-year-old, who was Young Player of the Season last year, has experienced a dramatic drop in influence compared to his previous campaign[2]. During the Forest match, Gravenberch received a 6/10 rating, described as "tidy on the ball when it came to him, but was pinned back by Forest's pressure."[3] His performance highlighted broader midfield issues at Liverpool, where the team has looked "far too easy to play through" and "vulnerable when possession breaks down."[2] The core problem extends beyond a single performance. Gravenberch's rhythm has noticeably stalled this season, with his hesitancy creating a porous defensive screen[2]. Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol singled him out for criticism, insisting his performances have significantly declined[5]. Compounding these issues, tactical reshuffling—including positioning him at centre half during the Forest match—has disrupted his continuity and confidence[2]. While Liverpool's tactical instability shares responsibility for the midfield problems, Gravenberch's form serves as a barometer for the team's overall structure[2]. At 23, the midfielder carries significant weight in his role, and his struggles reflect the deeper upheaval within Liverpool's squad this season.
